Peter Yarrow

The famous folk musician (of Peter, Paul and Mary) wants to aid your child's music education--and get them away from the TV!--with Favorite Folk Songs and Sleepytime Songs. Both include lyrics, sheet music, companion audio CD, and helpful illustrations (by Terry Widener). He'll also perform some standards, and it would not be unreasonable to expect a sing-along component. Rather than merely playing the game Guitar Hero on their Xbox consoles, your kids may actually be inspired to request guitar lessons. BRIAN MILLER
